Since 1951, the Strader family has been planting seeds of happiness in the Central Ohio area. Although Strader’s Garden Center began in one small garden store on King Avenue, it has grown “like a happy little weed” throughout the state and now has six locations.

Vicki is known as the “smile maker” in the FACCES Community. We call her this because the flowers, plants, vegetables, and herbs she so selflessly donates to our families always create a contagious group of smiling people on our campus. She serves the FACCES community faithfully during our Fresh Market Festival and as a contributor to other FACCES events throughout the year.  

Strader’s has a historic ability to cultivate excellence across our teams by hiring people from all walks of life, ensuring the highest levels of knowledge and customer engagement.
